Pheh. In my efforts to get the t-shirt contest actually posted and open for business, I found an unbeliveable rip-off from CafePress: custom postage stamps. You have to pay $17.99 for a sheet of 20 39-cent stamps, making the stamps themselves $0.90 each -- but you can definitely brand your mail with this product.

For those dying to vote with you money on the t-shirt contest, it will be ready for your viewing by Friday.

And for the record, I expect Dan to bump this post immediately. I have been at the fishin' hole and this is the best I have this week.

I'm tempted to bump you FOR THE FIRST TIME, EVER, just (A) to do it, and (B) not to let you down. But at the moment my brain is a rocky place where the seed of a Pyro-worthy idea can find no purchase.

(Name that movie. I know you can.)

And I have my own busy-day issues just now, too.

But I'm interested in hearing about the fishing. Was this in that muddy, yucky water that is all I ever see depicted in southern lands, and for some Stephen Kingian-looking thing like a bass or a catfish?

Awww....ya know.... Frank is just testing the waters with the stamp. If enough people respond positively...it will be the next big thing at Frank's store. Perhaps down the road we will see Homeboy stamps too. Maybe he will throw in the picture of Dan and sword.

Dan. I can attest to muddy yucky water in the south. I lived in Texas for a couple of years, and they brag about everything Texas...including their beautiful "lakes"...but I'm near Tahoe, so their "beautiful Texas lakes" were a shock to my system.

Candy, moving to Sacotomato from the desert, one of the first things I happily noticed was all of the above-ground water. But then I came to see that it was virtually all impenetrably, depressingly muddy. Unless it was in a mandmade fountain. Then it smelled like chlorine.

You said,Ah, give me the crystal-clear, icy-cold, sparkling, chuckling waters of the Sierra....

You really should make a trip over to the Ozarks. Clear "mountain" (more like hills compared to the Sierra) streams and rivers with some of the biggest Brook and Rainbow Trout you can find in the country.

The world record rainbow trout, caught in Arkansas in 1970, weighed 42 pounds, 2 ounces.

Raising Arizona was a 1987 Coen brother film, starring Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, and John Goodman. It was about a small-time crook (Cage) trying to go straight who marries a cop (Hunter) and kidnaps one of the Nathan Arizona quintuplets. It spirals out of control from there.

It is an odd but hilarious film.The tag line might fit in on this blog: "A Comedy Beyond Belief"

Here is something to talk about. DJP- you are a minister right? Okay so here it is. Aren't we all suppose to read and study the bible and then try to live Gods way? Is being an "elitist" wrong? I do not know if I spelled that right? We have a quite a few people in our church, and I am sure that it is everywhere, that are very "clicky," a couple of our newer pastors as well. It feels like high school all over again. 2nd commandment is love thy neighbor, would shunning people because off their status be considered sinful? We are all brothers in Christ, Right? We are all suppose to be loving to one another right? men and women, right? So on to my next question, how do you "call them out?" What would you do? Anyone!

I just looked at that last comment and thought it might be taken the wrong way. I meant that while this blog is about belief, it is also very funny. Therefore, a comedy beyond (being about so much more than just) belief.

How is the post office going to tell legitimate "vanity" postage stamps from counterfeits?How do christians tell the difference between "real" ministers and conterfeits?Scent, just to make you feel better, I have never posted a comment at one of Dan's posts.

The Rules

PREMISE: DO NOT comment at all if you think the "right way" to handle Christian disagreement is to make an appointment and chat over coffee first. The vortex of irony you will create by commenting will sap the hair-care products off your stylish bed-head, and we do not want to be responsible for that.

Remember that you are our guests. We will, at our discretion, delete comments that we find off-topic, derailing, un-civil, slanderous, trollish or troll-feeding, petulant, pestiferous, and/or otherwise obnoxious and non-constructive. If we warn you, stop it. After no more than three warnings, you will find yourself banned, and all your future comments will be immediately deleted.

See an error in the post? How clever of you! Email the author. If you comment a correction, expect the comment to disappear with the error.

If you are confused about how the specifics of these principles play out in practical terms, you'll find a longer list of rules HERE.
